I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Synopsys (Mountain View, CA) in Sep 2010
Interview
Very informal interview.Some aptitude questions and technical questions. Mostly friendly conversations on why do I want to work for Synopsys, where and how did you hear about synopsys and what we know about Synopsys and its culture. The expectations and the kind of work I am looking for. That's all.
The recruitment process consisted of an offline test, followed by interview. The interview was basic dsa and an puzzle at the end. Questions regarding sorting and binary seach were asked
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
i couldn't clear the first round : Basic Coding, binary search, sorting, etc
Interviewer was bad not at all interactive and interested in taking the interview looking like had a fight at home before taking the interview. I don't like the interviewer but can't do much as it's randomly allocated and it's all about luck of you get good interviewer or not. But atleast interviewer should be responsive.
There were two interviews for me. First one is from the technical team. The Second interview is from the HR. Mosty they ask Object Oriented programming related technical questions and DSA related questions
